What the Strongbacks Patch Stands For...

Strengthening the Community

Strongbacks LDRC is a charitable organization devoted to making the world a better place through various initiatives.

Our members are expected to regularly volunteer in their own neighborhoods.

Our goal is to organize fundraising rides that contribute to a scholarship program for young people from single parent households.
